Now You Can Ride Up the Lift at Mt. Shasta Ski Park and Hike Around the Area

New ownership has taken control of Mt. Shasta Ski Park and they have shown that they are ready to bring back summer activities to the mountain.

The Merlo family, which also owns the Mount Shasta KOA, Merlo Family Estate Vineyards in Trinity County and are partners in Silverthorn Resort on Lake Shasta, purchased the ski park this year. They officially brought back mountain biking to the park, and now you can ride the lift up to the top of the ski park for some great views and hikes. See the below video:

What a great idea! Now every Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm you can experience the beauty of the mountain without the snow. The Douglas Chairlift will give you a fun ride up to the top and some great views of NorCal. The cost is $15 and they plan to run this program through October.

This past weekend was the first time it was offered and it looks like it was a smashing success:

And as we've mentioned before, mountain biking is also another great option at the ski park:

Many thanks to the Mt. Shasta Ski Park for bringing summer back to the mountain!
